where do you find the splendour of friendship

[the mooring]

where do you find the splendour of the friendship?

do you find it in the summer journies with your friends and chatter with them??

do you find it in the humour and the laghters in daily speech with your friends that soften our life??


or

do you find it in the sharing feelings and ((money)) whene your friends fell in a disasters or proplems such as bankrupcy

what do you think????

I'm a fairly socially-isolated person, so I don't have daily contact with friends (except the ones on this forum). But I feel most poignantly how special it is to have good friends when I've gone a long time without seeing them, and then we meet again and it's like we'd never been apart. For me, the friends I have are closer to me than my real family and relatives.

I think this is well explained, the feelings that you can't put it in just a few words, the gratifying feelings about friendship. :)

You cry because of them, you laugh with them and you can't talk about your life without them.

It will make you feel amazing when you just think "how did he/she knows what I feel now." Unfortunately, I've never experienced it and I'm not sure that I made someone to feel that way but it will be great to have someone who knows you more than you know youself and become that person to somebody else. But if there's not that kind of special capacity, I believe that you can be just as a good friend by listening to your friends and just be there for them when they are in needs. For me, there I could find the unsophisticated (i chose this word instead of 'splendour') friendship.

Here I'd like to quote this:
“The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?” - Henry David Thoreau, American philosopher (1817-1862)

And Emily, I'd like to put you on my messenger if you don't mind because I read your writings in this forum and I think you're an interesting and also nice person. So, I want to make a new friend like you. :)

i am also like you .Ihave many friends but i dont talk with them always but ilove them and if they fell in problems iwill be the first one who help them becuase this is the really meaning of friendship, the meaning of friendship is not to show our faces every day to our friends but give them the assistance they need.I think the best friendship is to make all people in the world your friends and share them thier sadness and thier happiness and help them

Hye Young and Mooring, I like the way you both explained your feelings, too. I think it's a really good goal to try to touch the lives of as many people as possible, Mooring. :)

And H.Y., I'd be glad to have you on messenger. :D You seem like a very caring and perceptive person. I love the Thoreau quote.
